Points Mentioned

What is Points Mentioned? The easiest way to create interactive maps of your news content. We have developed a software plugin that can be inserted onto your website to automatically geoparse any points mentioned in your stories. Geoparsing is the process of identifying the coordinates of a location; with this information we are creating maps for individual stories, as well as regional maps with points from many articles. Technology and multi-media have put newspapers under pressure to keep their connection with readers. By leveraging a growing database of geocoded articles, Points Mentioned is helping publishers connect with new audiences. Their mobile app, News Bayou, gives a hyperlocal feed of news, live updates, and events in your current or searched location. Points Mentioned and News Bayou are creating a radical system for individuals to connect with the news, events and places that interest them. Journalists will also benefit from the amalgamation of their articles and the mapscape.
